Book Description
Over the past decade, modelling the panchromatic emission of galaxies has become one of the key tools in measuring their properties. As new and next-generation facilities progressively herald a new era in observational astronomy, we face new and specific challenges: LSST (recently named the Vera C. Rubin Observatory) and SKA will provide us with an avalanche of data; the advent of e-ROSITA and the preparation for Athena make it ever more pressing to include X-ray emission into the standard UV to radio panchromatic models; JWST will observe the first galaxies with extreme stellar populations; and, in the meantime, ALMA is already starting to provide us with remarkable dust and metal observations at high redshift. The proceedings of IAU Symposium 341 offer a broad overview of the state of the field from theoreticians, modellers, and observers to present and discuss the current frontier in the panchromatic modelling of galaxies.

The Discovery of Cosmic Voids
Author: Laird A. Thompson
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108858481
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The large-scale structure of the Universe is dominated by vast voids with galaxies clustered in knots, sheets, and filaments, forming a great 'cosmic web'. In this personal account of the major astronomical developments leading to this discovery, we learn from Laird A. Thompson, a key protagonist, how the first 3D maps of galaxies were created. Using non-mathematical language, he introduces the standard model of cosmology before explaining how and why ideas about cosmic voids evolved, referencing the original maps, reproduced here. His account tells of the competing teams of observers, racing to publish their results, the theorists trying to build or update their models to explain them, and the subsequent large-scale survey efforts that continue to the present day. This is a well-documented account of the birth of a major pillar of modern cosmology, and a useful case study of the trials surrounding how this scientific discovery became accepted.

Star-Formation Rates of Galaxies
Author: Andreas Zezas
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316877523
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Star-formation is one of the key processes that shape the current state and evolution of galaxies. This volume provides a comprehensive presentation of the different methods used to measure the intensity of recent or on-going star-forming activity in galaxies, discussing their advantages and complications in detail. It includes a thorough overview of the theoretical underpinnings of star-formation rate indicators, including topics such as stellar evolution and stellar spectra, the stellar initial mass function, and the physical conditions in the interstellar medium. The authors bring together in one place detailed and comparative discussions of traditional and new star-formation rate indicators, star-formation rate measurements in different spatial scales, and comparisons of star-formation rate indicators probing different stellar populations, along with the corresponding theoretical background. This is a useful reference for students and researchers working in the field of extragalactic astrophysics and studying star-formation in local and higher-redshift galaxies.

Sentiment Analysis
Author: Bing Liu
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108787282
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 451
Book Description
Sentiment analysis is the computational study of people's opinions, sentiments, emotions, moods, and attitudes. This fascinating problem offers numerous research challenges, but promises insight useful to anyone interested in opinion analysis and social media analysis. This comprehensive introduction to the topic takes a natural-language-processing point of view to help readers understand the underlying structure of the problem and the language constructs commonly used to express opinions, sentiments, and emotions. The book covers core areas of sentiment analysis and also includes related topics such as debate analysis, intention mining, and fake-opinion detection. It will be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in natural language processing, computer science, management sciences, and the social sciences. In addition to traditional computational methods, this second edition includes recent deep learning methods to analyze and summarize sentiments and opinions, and also new material on emotion and mood analysis techniques, emotion-enhanced dialogues, and multimodal emotion analysis.

Astroinformatics (IAU S325)
Author: Massimo Brescia
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9781107169951
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Astronomy has become data-driven in ways that are both quantitatively and qualitatively different from the past: data structures are not simple; procedures to gain astrophysical insights are not obvious; and the informational content of the data sets is so high that archival research and data mining are not merely convenient, but obligatory, as researchers who obtain the data can only extract a small fraction of the science enabled by it. IAU Symposium 325 took place at a crucial stage in the development of the field, when many efforts have carried significant achievements, but the widespread groups have just begun to effectively communicate across specialties, to gather and assimilate their achievements, and to consult cross-disciplinary experts. Bringing together astronomers involved in surveys and large simulation projects, computer scientists, data scientists, and companies, this volume showcases their fruitful exchange of ideas, methods, software, and technical capabilities.
